The opposition leader, Peter Dutton, has been speaking with ABC RN about a range of issues - including Lidia Thorpe's actions at King Charles' parliamentary reception yesterday.

Dutton argued that sometimes people make it all about themselves, and I think that's what yesterday was." He said it didn't advance anyone's cause" and add[s] to the self promotion ... that she seeks."

The vast majority of people have been very welcoming the king's visit, and I think it's been an opportunity to underscore the stability in our democracy, our rule of law, separation of powers, all of those institutions that we inherited from our British heritage.

That's part of the success story of our country, and it's a good reminder during his visit [that] if we change it, I think we want to be very careful about the system we're changing to and whether or not we would be a safer, more secure, community and environment for decades to come or not.
